Levemir is good. Most people take it twice a day. Some once. I personally have a hard time the few times I tried it because I find it lasts like 15 hours, so the doses over lap. Try it. You may like it.

I like it better than Lantus, personally. For me it seems to last about 22 hours, so I only take it once a day. It lets me have a lot more stability than Lantus did - especially overnight.

Good luck!

love levemir...was on lantus and the profile is the same for both but with lantus I was hungry all the time and it always stung with injection...no hunger and no stinging for levemir...so for me it's a great fit
